aewm++_xsession(1)

Okay bestie, this is the manual page for aewm++_xsession(1), filed under the General Commands Manual 💅✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

aewm++_xsession - keeps an X session alive 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

aewm++_xsession

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so aewm++_xsession does literally nothing more than keep your whole session alive if the window manager dies or gets killed 😭🫶 It's giving main character energy, no cap.

Here's the usual setup, bestie. Open up ~/.xinitrc and add these two lines:

aewm++ &
exec aewm++_xsession

Now if aewm++ dies or gets killed off, X does die too 💀 But that's the whole point! You can safely start another window manager from the command line or from an xterm window, so you're never stuck staring at a black screen. Iconic behaviour, fr fr 🔥

Heads up: if aewm++ goes down, X goes down with it. That's the deal with this setup, so keep it in mind when you're editing ~/.xinitrc ✨
